      ngl certain cars Lexus has stockholm syndrome'd me into liking like the LC500 grille is like a fully realized version of what the grille is trying to accomplish and failing to do on most Lexus models. Even then glad it's getting smaller felt like it was the last relic from the early/mid 2010s "stormtrooper helmet styling" epidemic that most design has shifted away from.

    I don’t think it’s overstyled at all. I find it interesting that no comment was made about the new GX grill. It’s pretty damn handsome, modern, rugged & looks far better than the older ones. I have a ‘14 GX, which I love, but the predator grill is huge. For my money, there’s no way….in hell that I would actually purchase a Range/ Land Rover product or a ridiculous G-wagen. But some people don’t care about long term reliability.
    It also seems like Doug didn’t do much research into this vehicle before his review.

    Hi Doug! I already watched this guy on your buddies channel Throttle House and after watching your video, the car only grows up on me. I think the design is truly superb and tough looking and despite it isn't as comfortable as some rivals, the looks in my opinion make the car a winner. I'm sure that if you own one of this, you are going to smile every time you get close. to it to take it for a ride. Other than that, not many cars have the fabulous off road capabilities of any of these Toyota group SUV's. So yes I'm sure that for a significant group of guys looking for something powerful looking and capable, this will be a very good choice. Thanks for another great vid Doug. All the best as always from West Spain 😊

      Lexus knocked it out of the park as the looks are both form and function. It looks rugged but has intentional design changes from the old GX460 to make it more of an off-road vehicle (lower window sills, squared off dash, high bumper and radiator configuration, etc.). Doug has apparently owned several Land Rovers but seems clueless to these huge improvements.

He also mentioned that the high points on the hood are simply for looks to a callback to old off-roaders to tell the driver where the wheels are, however they site-lines are perfect from the driver seat. Other reviewers have pointed this out.

    The surfacing, or “bulges” on the hood give you a reference point to your track width. As you learn the vehicle you can use this visual reference to place the wheels more accurately in an off road situation. It’s not to show you where the edge of the car is.
    This thing is unbelievably fantastic. Toyota is playing hardball and I love it. One of these is definitely in my future.

    Nice review! I had 2003 and that was the first year they came out here. Saw the new one at the Auto Show and it was nice but for the Overtrail trim they used all of the high gloss, high scratch materials around the wheels and in front of the windshield which was already scratched up at the Auto Show. Other than that very cool.

    Honesty, this is a great interpretation of what the modern Land Cruiser always should have been. So happy Lexus decided to go with 18'' wheels and the bigger tires on this model. Just adds to the vintage look of a rugged off-roader. I can still remember the days with my 79 LC FJ40 and 15" wagon wheels on off-road tires. Just so appealing this modern day age of bigger wheels and tires.

I bought a new Lexus and I noticed it because it started annoying me. After some research I found that out and immediately turned off that brake assist feature.
